Many questions and many topics were discussed.
But still he escapes to answer the MAIN QUESTION - is IFBB an International Sport Federation or is it a Commercial Supplement's Firm?
Also can anybody of you explain us - how a Commercial Firm IFBB made World President's ellections last year?
Every commercial stucture has OWNERS! But owners CAN NOT be elected!
They are OWNERS!!!
Here in this Forum we have spoken a lot about the OFFICIALITY, REGISTRATION, RECOGNITION of a Sport Federation.
Unnofficial and unregistered Sport Units who call themselves "federations" (like NABBA-WABBA-IBFA etc...) say they DO NOT NEED ANY REGISTRATION. They just go on their own making private contests like "Universe", "Olympia" etc. producing private business of 1 or 2 private persons.... Athletes have NO RIGHTS at those contests. They have NO VOICE. They just participate and go away...
BUT we say WFF goes THE OFFICIAL WAY.
What is the difference and why we need this officiality?
Official Organizations communicate with the Official State and Public National and International Organizations.
TODAY Lithuanian Union of Sport Federations has written a letter to Lithuania Fitness Federation (WFF Lithuania) asking how much financial support WFF Lithuania needs from the Government this year?
WFF Lithuania asked 150 000 US dollars for the 2007.
Do you imagine this action among the unofficial federations???
